Cabin floor is a tough one. You need everything out - the rear seats, the front seats, and the center console.

Grab the shifter trim ring and pull it up from the front, then out, and disconnect the TCS/VSC switches. There are two screws under it for the center console.


Remove the cupholders and rubber mat below them, undo the two screws here


Undo the four screws holding the shift boot to the trim ring (you won't be able to get the console off otherwise)


Pop out the e-brake boot


Pop out the long trim pieces below the center console kneepads, then find the back of the USB/aux ports, and pop them forward, then disconnect them


Reach your finger in the hold and pull the cubbyhole piece out


Two screws behind it


Disconnect the heated seat switches, lift the console out


Pop off the radio trim, undo the two philips screws up there.


Pull kneepads towards you and they will pop out


Undo seat bolts. E10 torx. Don't use a little socket like that. I stripped one and had a PITA getting it out. Part number is SU003-02815 if you mess up one. Use a breaker bar to get them out.


Tilt seats forward and disconnect the stuff at the front of it. There's a little flap that snaps onto a bar below the seat.


Christmas tree clip up here, pry it out


Push pin here, and a smaller christmas tree clip, remove it. Then pull up the weatherstripping from the door, and remove the threshold piece and the little panel in this picture comes out.


10mm bolt at front of seat, take it out


Big bolt for seatbelt


Rear quarter panels. There's one push pin that is hidden by the rear seat cushion, and two more that are actually in the trunk, then you can pop it out. Already some thinsulate acoustic here.


Here is the door with the threshold and weather strip removed.


Two clips on the carpet piece between the rear seats, pry it out


Rear wheel wells


Already some sort of CLD tile


Take the carpet out


Already some very thin MLV around the transmission doghouse, and some padding at the front of the footwells.


I put a 7/8" black plastic cap from the hardware store over the sound tube.


Going to bond some MLV to the doghouse MLV. After further evaluation, I decided this wasn't the best way, so for the drivers side I used velcro instead, so I could have it be one piece with the floor MLV.


HH-66 on both surfaces. You can see some CLD on the driveshaft tunnel too.


Attached


CLD inside the rear quarter


If it ain't broke don't fix it. I didn't remove any factory sound deadening material, just added.


Underside of the carpet. It had two soft foam pads under the floor, and a styrofoam block at the forward edge. Don recommends doubling up CCF here, I didn't use any CCF, I just put the MLV between the foam pads and the carpet.


Styrofoam block


Cut MLV for it


MLV installed


CCF around the rear end


Carpet back in
